With respect, neither of you are qualified to speak for majority of Americans, but given the amount of effort, money, ink, and television dedicated to looking better and losing weight combined with the fact that there's even a thing called fat phobic that even requires definition just to push back on all that...
I think there's sufficient reason to believe that "Overweight = bad" is a common standard that at least people hold themselves to.

- jvanderbot 1y agoIt's weird because I agree with you, but also have to acknowledge that the "pushback against fat phobia" was for some reason a thing.
